Make sure to fill up your car with gasoline before the big shopping day arrives. Also, bring snacks for your car and some water, that way you don’t have to worry about stopping at a store to grab a quick bite or something to drink.

Make sure you also bring all of yours ads and coupons, preferably sorted by store.

One of the best methods to get everything on your list is to recruit cohorts. Family members, husbands, siblings, friends, underlings that work for you – all of these are effective tools to get your job done. Some of these people you can get to do the dirty work because they love you or owe you a favor or because you know some deep, dark secret.

Another way to get others to help you to shop is to split lists. If you and your friend are looking for items at similar stores, send them to one store with a list of things you want, and take their list for the store you are going to as a favor to them. With one friend along, you end up splitting each other’s lists in half.

Black Friday Shopping Tip #5: Stick To the List

Another vitally important Black Friday Shopping commandment is to stick to your list. If you have infinite funds, you will likely not be shopping on Black Friday – in fact, you will be as far away as possible, and might even just hire someone to do it for you.

However, most of us normal humans have limited monetary supplies. That being the case, stick to your list. Buying things you see here and there that are on sale that are not part of that list can quickly add up and before you know it, you will find yourself too low on funds to purchase the items you really intended to get.
